LEMON Drizzle classic BRITISH Cake
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- Lemon Drizzle Cake is a classic British cake known for its moist texture and vibrant lemon flavour. It's a popular choice for afternoon tea and is celebrated for its simplicity and delicious taste.
Lemon Drizzle Cake's exact origins are unclear, but it's believed to be a product of the 20th century. It has become a staple in British baking and has gained popularity worldwide.
The cake's defining characteristic is its strong lemon flavor, achieved by incorporating lemon zest into the batter and a lemon juice-sugar drizzle that is poured over the cake while it's still warm. This drizzle adds flavor and creates a slightly crisp, sugary crust on top of the cake.
It is known for its moist, tender crumb, partly due to the syrupy drizzle that soaks into the cake, adding moisture and a punch of lemony tartness.
Despite its rich flavour, Lemon Drizzle Cake is relatively simple, requiring basic baking ingredients and a straightforward preparation process.
While the traditional Lemon Drizzle Cake is quite straightforward, many variations include adding poppy seeds, using different types of sugar for the drizzle (like granulated for a crunchier topping or powdered sugar for a smoother glaze), or incorporating other citrus flavors like lime or orange.
Lemon Drizzle Cake stands out for its sweet and tart flavours, moist texture, and delightful contrast between the soft cake and the crisp, sugary topping. It embodies the simplicity and comfort of home baking, making it a timeless favourite.

I love your no nonsense attitude to cooking, I have made quite a few of your recipes and they have all turned out great, and I think you have made me a more confident baker.
And my husband says thank you 😁
Glad you like them! Yes lets keep it simple and we can all enjoy cooking and baking. Well done you. Best, Rik
Thanks for the zesting instruction!!! Lovely.
This is my favourite cake. My mom always used margarine for her cake and replaced 2 tablespoons of flour with 2 of cornflour. She said it made her cakes lighter. She always used butter for icing though…margarine in icing does not taste good!
Thanks for sharing. Best, Rik
Where the ingredient quantities
That is a perfect, scrumptious classic lemon drizzle. I can smelt from here!!
I use the leftover lemon peels for cleaning. Put into pot with water to cover, boil 30 mins, discard peels. You can bottle this, save in fridge, for cleaning kitchen area, floors, bathroom, etc. Mix in vinegar and use in spray bottle to clean your windows.
Totally non-toxic, pet- and child-safe.
I use this all the time to clean my toilet, the citrus oil is nice.
Thank you. Best, Rik
My daughter and I have just made this, no electric whisk though just old fashioned elbow grease, teaching her the old fashioned way. Will update once it`s cooked, iced and we have tasted it although my mouth is watering already with the smell of the lemon in the kitchen.
UPDATE: Oh My My My.......Delicious!!! Having a slice with a cuppa now. Thank You Rik, another to add to the recipe collection!
That is awesome! Thank you 😋 Best, Rik
Hmmm my mouth was watering another great recipe and video keep them coming Rik 😊
Thank you, I will. Best, Rik
Love your channel!❤ opt for 'limoncello' instead of lemon juice 😁yum❤
Great idea!! Thank you. Best, Rik
....how about a lovely Carrot cake?
Great idea! Best, Rik
What function do you use on your air fryer for this cake? Bake? Or air fry? I only found your channel yesterday. It literally popped up from nowhere. Some great content. I’ve subscribed. Can’t wait to try your pastry recipe. I’ve always had disasters.
Love lemon and a good sponge cake.
I love your cooking style. Proper old school. Easy recipes with easy verbal instructions. I’m definitely going to try this one for a change over my usual lemon drizzle. ❤
Give your lemons 30 seconds each on full power in the microwave for better juice extraction.
Great tip! Best, Rik
It looks wonderful. Lemon is way up there for me. ❤ Rik, thank you for mentioning us Patrons by name. That was so nice of you. 🩷🩷🩷
You are so welcome. I always say thank you. To be honest, I didn't know how to at first then decided that way. I don't think anyone would mind. Thank you. Best, Rik
Just made the Lemon Drizzle Cake, absolutely fantastic! I do not think it is gong to last long! Going to make your Bread Pudding on the weekend, in Wales we call it Puddin Bara, never made it with Evaporated Milk before sounds fab! Do you have your recipe for Bara Brith, I think your followers would like this easy to make speckled bread (of course with lashings of proper butter). God Bless you and the Family Ric
Thank you. Best, Rik
A nice recipe for a lemon cake! I'll try it in this version. My tip: If you don't have a zest ripper, you can also use a peeler and then chop it with a knife. I do this with my orange marmalade, for example. 👍
Great tip. Thank you. Best, Rik
DELICIOUS recipe Rik. It's a family favourite, especially for my dear old mum. BIG 👍
Cheers, Mate. Best, Rik
Looks yummy, lemon drizzle cake. Would it be possible to know the measure of fat, sugar and flour? 4 eggs were noted along with the rest of the ingredients.
Thanks
All in the description, Audrey. Thank you. Best, Rik
That looks super delicious.I will make this tomorrow.
It's so good! Love lemon. Thak you. Best, Rik
This does look marvelous. Wow. We never eat deserts but this one we will give a try. We will use whole grain flour though. Thank you. Eva
Yummy, im making this tomorrow. Great recipes, love them 😊xxxx
A favourite recipe 🙂 love anything lemony! Really helpful zesting advice Rik. Thankyou
Thank you. Best, Rik
That looks TREMENDOUS, Rik. I always put lemon juice in my icing sugar, especially my Empire Biscuits. You make everything look so simple, which is a great thing for beginners and confident cooks and bakers alike. Thank you.
Sounds great! Yes let's keep it simple , everyone can do it. Might get more in the kitchen too. Best, Rik
Here in Texas we call it Lemon Pound Cake. Thanks Rik. So delicious. Check out Cowboy Kent Rollings Dutch Oven lemon blueberry pound cake at the chuckwagon.
I know what I am doing this weekend. May supplement the lemon with orange....
Yes - change out. Orange cake is delicious! Best, Rik
A wonderful lemon cake. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤
Thank you. Best, Rik
I love watching your videos, easy straight forward recipes! The lemon drizzle cake

Thank you. Best, Rik
Where oh where is the recipe for this wonderfully sounding cake? As a matter of fact where are the recipes for all your great dishes?
All recipes are in the description, Stuart. Best, Rik
I couldn’t actually bear to watch you eat that, I wanted it so badly! OMG it’s my fave thing EVER!
Thank you. It is probably my favourite cake. I love the lemon that has seeped in. It doesn't make it soggy, however the flavour - wow. Best, Rik
Thank you so much for this detailed video. I have watched a couple of videos and they both failed. They were putting lemon juice and sugar after pricking the cake and then put the icing which was made with caster sugar which I couldn’t eat. It was like eating sand .. third and the last time I will try your recipe. We have made your pork pie 🥧 and love it and everyone loves it. I will let you know how I get on with the lemon drizzle cake 💖🙏🥰
Thank you. You got this. Best, Rik
It’s in the oven 🙏🤞🤞🤞
It absolutely delicious 😋 my friend says I have nailed it 😊 he had to try all the ones that failed you see. Bless him never complained ❤ and my husband liked it too. Thank you so much. I wanted to add a picture of the cake to my comment but I don’t know how 🙏💖💕🥰🙏
What is self-rising flour and how do I make it? It is not available here.
Here you go th-cam.com/video/rA7wrVVjldg/w-d-xo.html old video. Best, Rik

😂😂😂 Your enthusiasm at the end is what sold it for me. Right, all I need now is some lemons, flour, icing sugar, and an electric whisk! 😊 Seriously though, that cake looks delicious. Will definitely be trying it soon. 👍🏽
So good! I have finished it. The lemon through it makes it - wow so moist, not soggy. Love it with a cuppa. Give it a go, its steady to make as you see. I think you will be telling me off after - its one to make every week! Thank you. Best, Rik
Hi rik. I've been thinking of what cake to make next, you've just answered my question. I to love my Hysapenti.
Good choice! How you finding the unit? - I'm still getting used to it. Best, Rik
Hiya Rik. I add vanilla pod seeds to my Lemon Drizzle cake mix. It adds such a creamy flavour that elevates It to new heights.
Delicious! Thank you. Best, Rik
That's a bosting lemon drizzle cake Ricky, love it.Looking forward to you cooking a banana cake .😉
Hope you enjoy. Best, Rik
I'll be giving that a go in my Hysapientia in the next few days. It looks lovely. I enjoy your good honest, no nonsense, easy to follow cookery and baking. I've found the hysapientia very good for baking, certainly more reliable results than in the conventional cooker oven. 😀
Agreed. If you have any tips share on here. Thank you. Best, Rik
😋😋😋😋again?from a drooling BIGMICK IN THE UK 🇬🇧 without snow
Cheers, mate. Heard the snow is on its way. Best, Rik
Goes down a treat with a nice cuppa tea
Thank you. Best, Rik
Do you use non-stick or dark tins? I know they say to put the temp of the oven down 25 degrees if you do. Just want to make sure cake comes out as nice as yours. - From Wisconsin
This tin is non-stick with the baking paper in. Some folks make cake by butter out and add a coat of flour. I prefer not it leaves a film on the cake. That's is why I use this method. Love to Wisconsin. Best, Rik
Made the cake today as a test run for a Birthday cake, Very nice, light and moist. Well done Rik a job very well done :)
Thank you. Best, Rik
I have absolutely been doing the zesting wrong!😮 Another gem learned, courtesy of Rik. Thank you!
You are so welcome! Most zest upside down - its more convenient. Best, Rik
Absolutely my favorite of all cake flavors, can’t wait to try it🎉 Thankyou❤
Thank you. Best, Rik
Yum..gotta try it. I looooove lemon. Thanks chef😊❤
